RE: Forward Ventilation
Here's one thing to keep in mind about ventilation--the knots are not permanently fixed in a specific direction. They can be if you use knot sealer. But in a normal unit the hair is ventilated in the direction that you specify. But the knots 'turn' after a few washings. So if you order a freestyle unit and you style it in a left break style than eventually the knots will turn in that direction as you comb the hair in that style.
Regards,
John

RE: Forward Ventilation
Knot sealer is a strong adhesive applied on very thinly, which literally seals / locks the knots and prevents them unravelling, so helping to prevent shedding. I tend to use it almost immediately the system arrives, as it`s a freestyle system, but is probably a good idea to wait until after a wash or two until the system has settled into whatever way you tend to style it, then seal the knots.

RE: Forward Ventilation
Look at the `` Info links for newbies`` posted by Snipe up at the top of the page --there is plenty good information and videos covering many important topics --how to apply knot sealer is covered. Paul.

RE: Forward Ventilation
No problem Hollisterco --you`re very welcome....... I enjoy helping to `` shine a light`` onto the world of wearing, for people considering it, and hopefully help prevent anyone falling for a lot of the crap stories spun by these over -priced hair clubs/ salons and parting with large wads of hard -earned cash. The systems you buy from them are almost all manufactured in China- - same as the ones you buy off here ----- I can see no justification for charging a client anything up to/over 2 thousand dollars for a system, when Toplace will supply you the same system including delivery, for around 10% of that cost !!!! All you have to do is secure a stylist, buy some adhesives and de -bonder products and do your own attachments----yes it can be a steep learning curve as it`s a totally ``new`` part of your life, but hey, it`s got to be better than going out constantly bothered / demented about the shine on the top of your head where your hair used to be !!! There is plenty info on here ----especially in Snipe`s ``Info links`` above, including video tutorials --- have a good look through them and take heart --- you CAN do it !!
Finally, it may seem obvious to many, but just to clarify one thing re knot -sealer for anyone who is new to this world......... you only use it on LACE systems, on the underside of the system, as the hair is tied/knotted into the lace, and the knots are visible/accessible, whereas with an all- polyurethane or skin system, you do not have to `worry` about it as the hair is injected into the base and a layer of poly covers the `roots` so you don`t actually see them, and there are no knots which might become undone.
Best wishes to all forum -readers. Paul.
